Let the media tell it, NCAA Men's basketball is in the worst shape ever. Sorry, I do not get that narrative. And changing the shot clock is not going to make the game better. You just will have more forced shots IMO.

1. Geno did call it a joke, but during some follow up questions did indicate his sport was even worse.

2. Problem with college basketball narrative seems to be that its the only high level version of the game in the world where the competitive story lines take a priority over scoring, flow and skilled play.

3. Not sure if Geno wants more euro or pro style games played at all levels, these do follow up his comments re:state of high school game and shot clock needs in Conneticut.

4. Haven't gotten involved too much on other Social Media or wanting to here on this issue, because of the amount of direct and passive aggressive hating being linked to the gender issue. I don't think that guys and girls sports are the same, they clearly aren't. I'm also not captain PC. But when people start talking about coaching a real sport, or using gendered imagery to denote or directly link to weakness of some kind. Not cool/
